The all-new 2024 Opel Grandland has arrived, marking an ambitious change from the last generation. Slated to be available later this year as Opel in continental Europe and as Vauxhall in the UK, the Grandland brings a host of luxury features that elevate into an exclusive new space.
As we reported back in November 2023, the Grandland will be introduced in all-electric and combustion options. Here’s a closer look at Stellantis’ newest compact crossover for Europe, sitting atop the recently brought (and more affordable) Frontera.

Compared to the previous model, the new Grandland is larger. It gains 6. 8 inches (173 mm) more overall length, 0. 7 inches (19 mm) in height and 2. 5 inches (64 mm) in width. With those increases, the Grandland Now measures 183. 1 inches (4,650 mm) long, 75 inches (1,905 mm) wide, and 65. 4 inches (1,660 mm) high.
It also has a wheelbase of 109. 6 inches (2784 mm). As a result, the boot area increases to 36 liters and rear passengers get 0. 8 inches (20 mm) more legroom than the previous generation.
Electric Vehicle & ICE Options
Built on Stellantis’ STLA Medium platform (shared with the Peugeot 3008), the Grandland boasts versatility. Like its big brother, this platform can accommodate powertrain and transmission configurations.
In the electric editions, the Grandland offers a 73 kWh or 98 kWh battery option. Using a 400V architecture, these EVs can quickly generate DC up to 160 kW, achieving an impressive range of up to 700 km (435 miles). not shown at this time, a basic FWD edition is expected at launch, as well as a dual-engine edition in the future.
Perhaps the most appealing news is that a combustion edition is also coming that includes a 1. 2-liter three-cylinder engine and a 48-volt mild hybrid system, with a plug-in hybrid variant that it will later stick to and that will provide around 50 miles of pure power. Electric autonomy. Opel says it plans to have an all-electric vehicle until 2028, but the recent slowdown in that market may cause it to reconsider that strategy. For now, the hybrid option may prove to be a big win.
The features that come with this new Grandland probably won’t hinder sales either. They come with a new illuminated logo on the front, a “Vizor” flavored front, as well as Intelli-Lux Pixel Matrix HD lighting, a two-tone floating roof, and bold lines on the wheel arches.
The interior is also packed with upgrades, adding a spacious 16-inch infotainment screen, a head-up display, and some nifty seats. These seats have power side straps, ventilation, and even a massage feature. There is a slot in the front seats, which is also specially designed to relieve strain on the tailbone.
“The new Grandland is a vital milestone for Opel. Thanks to it, each and every Opel, without exception, will now be available in an electric version,” said Opel CEO Florian Huettl. “This is a big step in our electric offense. The new Grandland was designed and evolved in Rüsselsheim and will be built in Eisenach. The relationship with the Opel Experimental is undeniable. It offers inventions that were first noticed in this run-of-the-mill prototype. The all-new Grandland will strengthen our position in the vital C-SUV. segment. “
While Opel has yet to confirm a release date, we can expect the Grandland to go on sale this fall. Additional details on internal combustion engine (ICE) diversity and fuel power will most likely arrive before then.
